Main plan is to save up for a leather retrim on the rear seats, custom leather door cards with speaker baffles and a leather roof card and getting angel eyes soon aswell plus in January I will be fitting the abarth side skirts as that's when my insurance is up for renewal.

Also debating whether to get tinted rear windows...?

Put in the grills in the front bumper:

Mesh looks good

As for tinting the rear windows - depends how dark you go....
it looks good with clean glass on a such deep black car

Where you get the bumpers from? I want to get them for my punto.

Good stuff! mine cost me £250 for the bumpers and the abarth spoiler but I sold that for £45 so it worked out fairly cheap

That isn't bad for bumpers, usually a lot more than that. Did they came pre painted/clear coat etc? Or did you have to get them done? Damn I was after a spoiler

Looks very nice I have been following your thread

Quick Update: Fitted the heated part to the leather seats just in time for the cold weather that has arrived!

So does it work okay?
No fires?
does it swtich the heat off after a short while?

And what fuse rating you wacked in there?

Works perfectly no problems at all, I have put two 15amp fuses in one for each chair as the alfas themselves have for them

hey, where did you get those round air vents from, they look awsome, and also how did you spray your centre console, did you sand and primer it?

I really want one of those front abarth bumpers, ive been looking for one for ages, ive got the rear one

Seen as I couldnt get the rear alfa seats in without having to do a major job i decided to take the leather off the alfa seats and put it on the punto seats:

PART 1
The original alfa seats:


The original fiat seats:


Taking the back plate off the fiat seats (needs to be done to the alfa seats aswell):


Stripping the alfas down:


The leather then will go over the top of the original seat:


THE FINAL PRODUCT:

Part 2 (the upright bench) is still to come as this was just a test to see if it would work and it clearly does
What do you think guys....

I will get a photo of the seats in the car when i have time and there is enough light to see them clearly

i took a seat to bits yesterday because the back wouldnt lock
like you i thought that maybe next time i would get a breaker seat and swap the covers
never thought of actually putting a leather interior over the standard seats
i think its a proper thinking out of the box idea
well done
